I'm not a mod/admin, but even so, providing the boot0 file would be against Temp rules as it is still copyrighted material.

/SWITCH/CFW/_CFW Tools/Boot Repair Package

Fun fact - xbins supports the site search ftpd cmd. So if you know if you key words you can issue a raw cmd like site search atmosphere. The ftpd will return search results.
dumb question, do you have a Linux auto-xbins? Since I have to use Filezilla and do a whole work around to get files for you peeps.

Only 6.2 & 7.0.1 in the xbins file at the moment.

The drill is launch my modded Hekate in the file (switchboot.bin)

Go to tools, choose a backup folder (BACKUP_1 for example)and backup your boot0/1 (and maybe prodinfo too).

Once done, go to this folder on your PC and you will see the BACKUP_1 folder with a subfolder called BOOTS in it. These are the ones you have just backed up. DO NOT DELETE THESE! Either keep them in BACKUP_1 or drag them to your PC. In fact, use the "quick backup" option to backup prodinfo too.

Make a new folder next to the BACKUP_1 called BACKUP_2 and make a subfolder with BOOTS folder.

Copy the repair files to this empty BOOTS folder.

Boot up the switchboot.bin, go to tools, select backup folder 2 (BACKUP_2) and restore the new BOOT0/1 using the

option under dangerous (Restore BOOT0/1 without size check) and restore the new BOOT0/1.

Enable autoRCM if you are saving fuses, boot, done.

You will need to launch with Hekate / Switchboot.bin if you are going to 6.2.0 and you have 9 fuses burnt.

Similarly, if you have 8 fuses burnt and you are building / using a 7.0.1 emmc, fuses will be burnt to match. If 6.2.0, you will have 8 burnt fuses... 7.0.1 = 9 fuses.

Remember - DO NOT USE THE FULL-SIZE ones. I merely included them for posterity. I have labelled them in the archive. Use the smaller ones or you will be saying goodbye to your keyblobs. However, the Switch will still start with missing keyblobs.

Just MAKE SURE THE FILES YOU ARE RESTORING ARE 1536kb (boot0) and 512KB (boot1).

with 6.0 and 6.0.1 you can easily generate the files with choidujour, just get them follow the first few steps about generating the firmware files
Very true.

I did these manual as Choi (shell version) don`t go past 6.1.0. Or didn`t.
